2) clock stopped
Please fix video recording issue
Thank you admin
Unfortunately it’s not connecting to pc as media Device (PC is not Detecting the device at all)
I Found That Camera Quality is Not Good. Large amount of Noise is present in Any Mode. ( This Is The One Problem I Found So Far )
plz Tell Me if I can Port Any Other Camera Zip And Improve Quality.
Like Stock 5.0.2 in Lenovo a6000, Camera gives Best Quality.
Bug: auto brightness not working ( slight deflection ), lagging and freezing after continuous usage, random reboot while performing random tasks ( rare ).
random reboots
why there is no theme option???except theme option the rom is butter smooth….no bugs at oll!!!!great work guyz……nyz job….add theme option on next update plz!!!
it has layers manager pre installed. can download layers from playstore and apply..would work as a partial theme manager.
Everything is fine!
Even installing from unknown source also working well,
Pros >
1, Gapps is not connecting – I can’t sign in in to Play store,
2, Camera – very bad quality, stock cam is better,
Video recording is not working in both camera,
I installed another ROM for testing purpose and later wiped it to install and check Xenon again and luckily it worked this time. Flashed gapps after first boot successfully. Although this Rom has less features as compare to some other roms but its super smooth and have no freeze issues like Resurrection Remix. The only issue I have faced so far is that when I tried to select the SD card as storage location for pictures, it gave me an error “please install SD card first”. And the error didn’t go away until I removed its data from Apps settings. Another thing which bothers me so much is the “google play services has stopped” error. But i think it’s the gapps fault.
Anyways, thanks for the ROM. <3 :)
Please help
Were you on lollipop before flashing this? Tell me in detail
Yes I was using resurrection remix prior to installing xenon. Later I wiped the device completely and flashed the rom without installing gapps and it worked . Flashed gapps after first boot.
Just installed the ROM but stuck at boot animation. What to do?
reflash it, clear system, boot, cache, factory reset, clear dalvik cache and then flash the rom. do not flash gapps now, .boot…then again boot into recovery after after first boot…then flash gapps. should work
Yes it worked then. Thanks a ton :)
Also video recording is not working.
not able to install apps from unknown sources even though option is activated, it returns to the option off.
